─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
After hearing the ultra-sheen producer Steve Osborne
smoothed across New Order's 2001 album Get Ready, the
B-52s' guitarist and music director Keith Strickland
found the sound that would bring his band into 21st
century. The ultra-slick, synthesizer and drum machine
driven Funplex is the result, and while it doesn't make
up for the 16 years since their last full-length, it's
a good argument that they should get off the revival
concert circuit and get back to the studio more often.
On the opening "Pump," singers Kate Pierson and Cindy
Wilson prove right away they can still create sweet
harmonies, while Fred Schneider displays that he's lost
none of his campy spark and still sounds credible when
barking out stories of hot mamas cruising the mall
while high on diet pills. The track's exciting
Stereolab-meets-Duane Eddy construction vindicates
Strickland's hunch about Osborne, whose half-new wave,
half-MP3 age production is a great match throughout.
The band's shimmy and shake performance is as energetic
as ever and with songs like "Hot Corner," "Juliet of
the Spirits," and the title track bringing warm
reminders of "Roam," "Summer of Love," or "Good Stuff,"
the B-52s in 2008 are still adding fine material to
their catalog. Bright moments that loyal fans will
cherish dot the album, like when Fred delivers a
"Robots-Bootybots-Erotobots" chant ("Love in the Year
3000"), or when a simple, quintessential B-52s riff
mixes with intoxicating future disco ("Eyes Wide
Open"). Problem is the songwriting seems a bit forced
at times and the towering highlights found on their
top-shelf efforts are missing. Nothing here is as
gripping or as perfect as "Rock Lobster," "Private
Idaho," or "Love Shack," and the songs that are
borderline filler get pushed into one big forgettable
lump towards the end of the album. Turns out, being the
world's greatest party combo isn't just like riding a
bike, but the B-52s are certainly pointed in the right
direction. Think of Funplex as a likeable album from a
lovable band and adjust your party planner accordingly.
